Mostly Kosher: Klezmer and Yiddish Jazz

Mostly Kosher is a band based in Southern California with a mission to preserve Jewish musical traditions as well as progressing these genres through the sounds of other cultures and contemporary music. The group takes klezmer and Yiddish theater tunes and incorporates genres ranging from Latin jazz and tango, to Afro-Cuban and even hip-hop. Soon after the release of their debut album, Mostly Kosher’s title track, Ikh Hob Dikh Tsufil Lib (I Love You Much Too Much), earned them a recent award from World Music Network.
